This is a more detailed comparison table that does new iPad Pro 11in (M4) vs new iPad Air 11in (M2) vs old iPad Air 11in (5th Gen, M1). There are some differences but you're right that they are pretty minor.

https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/?modelList=ipad-pro-11-m4...

I guess the big difference is the display. OLED for the iPad Pro (which they weirdly call "Ultra Retina XDR") whereas the new iPad Air and the old one have a similar "advanced LCD" display (which they weirdly call "Liquid Retina").

Otherwise, the M4/Pro also has a higher core count, more storage options (up to 2TB) and even more storage available via Thunderbolt (e.g. USB storage devices), so long as you don't mind wires or Thunderbolt/USB hubs.

Then there are some differences that are just pricing or upgrade cycle wedges, like the "pro" keyboard support (only on M4) and the new Apple Pencil "pro" (on M2/M4).

I think I'll personally stick with the iPad Air line, especially since I much prefer Touch ID to Face ID, and I just use a full-blown Apple Bluetooth keyboard anyway rather than the iPad-specific ones. I described my iPad "fancy typewriter" setup here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37643678

Hard to say whether this particular iPad Air release will warrant an upgrade over my iPad Air 5th Gen, though. Doubt it. Identical dimensions, nearly identical core count, identical RAM, and I got the 256 GB option last time around, so it has plenty of storage.
In this case, you need to find working motherboard without soldered parts to be able to fix it cost efficiently. Otherwise you need to buy factory component (for extra price, with soldered components...)
My tests running ALTER varied from ~20 seconds to ~1 min for the changes.

> Current CI/CD practices often make it very easy for software developers to commit and roll out database migrations to a production environment, only to find themselves in the middle of a production incident minutes later. While a staging deployment might help, it's not guaranteed to share the same characteristics as production (either due to the level of load or monetary constraints).

(neon.tech employee here)

This is where branching databases with production data helps quite a bit. Your CI/CD environment and even staging can experience the schema changes. When you build from a seed database you can often miss this kind of issue because it lacks the characteristics of your production environment.

But the author rightly calls out how staging isn't even enough in the next paragraph:

>The problem is, therefore (and I will repeat myself), the scale of the amount of data being modified, overall congestion of the system, I/O capacity, and the target table's importance in the application design.

Your staging, even when branched from production, won't have the same load patterns as your production database. And that load and locks associated will result in a different rollout.

This has me thinking if you can match the production environment patterns in staging by setting staging up to mirror the query patterns of production. Mirroring like what's available from pg_cat could put your staging under similar pressure.

And then this also made me think about how we're not capturing the timing of these schema changes. Unless a developer looks and sees that their schema change took 56 seconds to complete in their CI system you won't know that this change might have larger knock on effects in production.
A Code Visualizer and Helper
Problem: Its difficult for new developers in a team to understand the existing code.
Solution: A code visualizer which will help companies convert their code and files into a flowchart so that it is easier for new devs to understand where is the data flowing and which page is something navigating to.

They can also ask questions to the codebase in order to find the implementation of a particular function fast.

The reason I am sharing this here is because I have been able to talk to only a few project leads regarding this but I might not be able to understand all the problems with the idea.

Would love to know the problems you see with this.
I loved my ipad mini. It's super long in the tooth now, and I was hoping to replace it today. oh well...

Is the iPad Pro not yet on OLED? All of Samsung's flagship tablets have OLED screens for well over a decade now. It eliminates the need for backlighting, has superior contrast and pleasant to ise in low-light conditions.
Sadly, people use indie to mean small, rather than it's actual meaning of "independent of a publisher", and it's one of those things that I've nearly given up on fighting.

It's even more sad because the only reason that change happened was big publishers wanting in on the success of indie games as a label and concept, but by definition being excluded, so they pushed their own definition, and people gobbled up their corporate cooption.
It's not weird when you consider that browsing the web or watching videos has the CPU idle or near enough, so 95% of the power draw is from the display and radios.
I have the apple pencil OG and the apple pencil 2nd generation - my OG one is in pristine condition, and my 2nd generation one is already cracked towards the top even though I've used it less. (My OG one is used by my toddler now, too, and it's survived unscathed.)

If your back is hurting from the ~1lb extra going from 13" to 15", I would recommend some body weight exercises. Your back will thank you, and you'll find getting older to be much less painful.

Regarding a small iPad, isn't that the iPad mini? 8" vs 7" is pretty close to what you're asking for.
Am I wrong, or is raytracing on an iPad an _insane_ thing to announce? As far as I know, raytracing is the holy grail of computer graphics.

It's something that became viable on consumer gaming desktops just a few years ago, and now we have real-time ray tracing on a tablet.

I'm hoping the higher efficiency gains and improved thermals offset that. The efficiency cores tend to have more impact on the Macs where multitasking is heavier.
I understand that they have delayed the announcement of these iPads until the M4 is ready, otherwise there is nothing interesting to offer to those who have an iPad Pro M2. I don't see the convenience of having a MacBook M3 and an iPad M4. If I can't run Xcode on an iPad M4, the MacBook is the smartest option; it has a bigger screen, more memory, and if you complement it with an iPad Air, you don't miss out on anything.
> brew temp and serving temp are orthogonal

Yes!!! I’m biting my tongue a little on how infuriating the process has been to ask cafes for warmed cold brews, but you’re spot on and exactly right. I’m baffled that so many people who sell coffee for a living, think they know a lot about it, and act like coffee snobs, don’t seem to understand what cold brew even is. (Or, in a few cases in my sampling I’m certain it was willful ignorance, laziness, because it takes a little more work and more space to cold brew.)

I will say that one of my local cafes understood completely and they’re happy to make hot cold-brewed coffee, and made me feel welcome for asking for it. One or two others were very good about it, but hands down the majority of cafes were a bad experience when asking for a warmed cold brew. Good luck to them, they’ve lost my business.
By that logic moderators on Reddit should be upset that people are profiting off their free services.

For some reason, they don't. Honestly, I don't understand why, but there is a cohort of people out there who are ok with it.
Windows Admin Center was created because Microsoft thinks sysadmins want to manage Windows from a web browser. Instead, most of them would rather use desktop apps over RDP, which is why the deprecated Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is still widely used. WAC adoption is nowhere near what it should be in practice at this point.
I’ve tried a bunch of these out and settled on yadm as well. It’s basically a shim for Git that tracks your home directory with a bare repo stored elsewhere.

This is because asset pricing in Canada is entirely dependent on increasing populations. Immigration requirements have been relaxing and will continue to relax. Which means that you should expect a higher “miss” rate on immigrants over time.

The problem with immigration this way is that there’s a careful balance of cost vs production. The question is already becoming “is this net positive” and will soon become “what deficit are we okay with running to prop up the asset market”
regarding the stat redfin uses: homeownership" is only counting those that are head of household (which is who is responding when filling out a census), e.g. if there are ~100 genZ's, consisting of 96 that live with their parents, 3 that rent, 1 that owns their own home, the stat just takes those last two numbers, ~1/4, and redfin then reports "26% of GenZs owned their own home".
Both a shame.

The Samsung tablets at least still retain the SD card slot, so you can focus more on the desired amount of RAM and not worry too much about the built-in storage size.
If the usecases involve
working on dark terminals all day or watching movies with dark scenes or if the general theme is dark, may be the new oled display will help reduce the display power consumption too.
Golden Rule
They like bright lights?

I have dimmable LED strips around my rooms, hidden by cove molding, reflecting off the whole ceiling, which becomes a super diffuse, super bright “light”.

I don’t boast about power use, but they are certainly hungry.

For that I get softly defuse lighting with a max brightness comparable to outdoor clear sky daylight. Working from home, this is so nice for my brain and depression.
I wanted to buy a Mini, but they had not updated the processors for them when I was buying, and they cost way more than a regular iPad at the time, I wanted to be budget conscious. I still sometimes regret not just going for the Mini, but I know eventually I'll get one sooner or later.

You know whats even funnier, when the mini came out originally, I made fun of it. I thought it was a dumb concept, oh my ignorance.
if the emotional reality of humans are "hurt" by others doing "less worse" then they are .. then this signals a powerful downward spiral of the social contract..

It's a compression via domain-specific frequency encoding.

Good, but that's a pretty common technique for cases where every bit counts.
The M1 Max that I have is easily the greatest laptop I've ever owned.

It is fast and handles everything I've ever thrown at it (I got 32 GB RAM), it never, ever gets hot, I've never heard a fan in 2+ years (maybe a very soft fan if you put your ear next to it). And the battery life is so incredible that I often use it unplugged.

It's just been a no-compromise machine. And I was thinking of upgrading to an M3 but will probably upgrade to an M4 instead at the end of this year when the M4 maxes come out.
We tried huffman first, But we can't know which string will be serialized. If using huffman, we must collect most strings and compute a static huffman tree. If not, we must send huffman stats to peer, which the cost will be bigger
They’ve already expressly said they’re shifting from a hardware-focused business to a software-focused one. Did you miss that and think they’re just bad at business?

Hardware has always been a loss leader used to sell games, nothing more. If they can sell the games just as well on their “competitiors platforms” then why bother spending time and exorbitant amounts of money building your own hardware?

Exiting the hardware space looks like a loss only if you don’t understand the dynamics of the game industry.
There's plenty of niches where they're just the right machine for the job. Every pilot I know flies with an iPad running Foreflight for everything from route planning to situational awareness.
It's not a trend, it's just plainly more efficient to have dense population centers. For both living and for business. One of the downsides of course is limited land, but there are tons of other upsides.

So then the question is whether we should just remove barriers that stop urban spread
It's a subscription model for $5 a month on iPad and $300 one time purchase on Mac.
The OLED likely adds a fair bit of draw; they're generally somewhat more power-hungry than LCDs these days, assuming like-for-like brightness. Realistically, this will be the case until MicroLEDs are available for non-completely-silly money.
Just use your home folder as a git repo, rename .git, create alias "githome" to git cli pointing to that directory and viola, you have all you need.
Yeah, one of my biggest frustrations as a person who likes keeping around both recent-ish Mac and Windows/Linux laptops is that x86 laptop manufacturers seem to have a severe allergy to building laptops that are good all-rounders… they always have one or multiple specs that are terrible, usually heat, fan noise, and battery life.

Paradoxically this effect is the worst in ultraportables, where the norm is to cram in CPUs that run too hot for the chassis with tiny batteries, making them weirdly bad at the one thing they’re supposed to be good at. Portability isn’t just physical size and weight, but also runtime and if one needs to bring cables and chargers.

On that note, Apple really needs to resurrect the 12” MacBook with an M-series or even A-series SoC. There’d be absolutely nothing remotely comparable in the x86 ultraportable market.

Weird, right? That's exactly the argument repeated ad nauseam by Microsoft as "proof" that Hyper-V isn't dead, somehow excluding the lack of a good desktop GUI for Hyper-V VMs from why users would feel differently
I don't think this is solely the issue that users don't understand that the companies are obliged to provide the data requested by the authorities.

The whole controversy surrounding Proton started when they marketed themselves as "secure and private email", promising they would NEVER give away their users' data, until they did. I had a similar discussion with my friends today about this topic and the issue I have with it is that Proton tries to market itself as an email which will never snitch your data to the authorities. And we've seen countless times (they have provided data to almost 6k requests last year) that this isn't the case.

The problem as I see it is that Proton is not even trying to challenge the requests anymore. It's not like Tuta, who you can read on the news that they keep challenging almost every order they get from the authorities, even if they lose the battle in court: https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/08/german-secure-email-provid...

As I read on a website comparing "private email services", the question here is not whether a service provider will or will not abide by the court requests. It's whether it will do anything to challenge it or just giveaway the data without questions asked.
Ah, of course. I guessed it before even opening the article. They are using "AI". No one needs specifics, it's just all magic.

Wow! What a wrong and truly dumb perspective to have. Only mining nodes do anything, it's in the white paper. Amazing how so many years later people are still spewing these stupid lies!
Didn't they do extreme nitpicking for their tests so they could show the M1 beating a 3090 (or M2 a 4090, I can't remember).

Gave me quite a laugh when Apple users started to claim they'd be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 maxed out with maxed out raytracing.
My house is pretty old, so it has a cold cellar under the porch. It was originally intended to keep canned goods cool, I've never seen it get to 30°C, even in summer. It's also out of the way enough that I can close the door and the howling fans don't bother us in the rest of the house.

Yeah, the power use is a concern, but it's well within my hobby budget. I wish I'd gone for a bigger unit with proper 3.5" drive bays, but this is what I got. Normal load is something around 100-200W.

One day I'll upgrade to a more efficient machine, but I'm happy with this for now.
That is awesome! I would absolutely love it if more cafes did this. Let us know where it is so we can go patronize.

> You can't hire smart motivated people and then be surprised when they figure out to optimize for their rewards.

Never said that. I don’t have a solution. Well I have a partial solution, but not complete:

Reward all team members equally for the performance of the team, or even the company. For instance: the pie is divided into 3 pieces: company, team, and individual performance. Candy is given out based on performance of both.

It doesn’t fix the hackable metrics issue, but when people collaborate the side effects are better than when they think of their own promotions, and worse when they’re competing against their direct peers for a fixed bucket of candy per team. Such incentives are directly opposing collaboration between the very people that need to collaborate the most.
What about using gzip on messages? I'd expect for it to yield similar savings while keeping message format simpler.
Fewer iPad SKUs = more efficient manufacturing and logistics, at iPad scale probably means a very real cost saving.
To offer something better to those who have an iPad Pro M2 and a more powerful environment to run heavier games.
I'd rather they just keep counting up than some companies where they get into wonky product line naming convention hell.

It's ok if 3 to 4 is or isn't a big jump, it's the next one is really all I want to know. If I need to peek at the specs, the name really won't tell me anything anyhow and I'll be on a webpage.
Assuming you mean "creator" and "artistic crowd" as illustrators and musicians, yes the iPad is a powerful tools for very specific use cases.

But even in these niches there has been a gradual move away from the iPad to more powerful devices where it works out well enough. For instance music creation/management benefited a lot from the new macbooks, especially as they got more ports and top notch software support. Photography/cinematography as well.

Other pro tablets also gained more presence in these drawing/designing circles, the Surface Pro is one and Wacom even entered the market with its own dedicated standalone table, while non standalone peripheral also flourished.

All in all, Apple created a gap and pro users looked at more fitting devices when they didn't want to bend over backwards to use an iPad.
There are only certain classes of systems this works for. If the system generates infrequent alerts, for example, the stakeholder won't know there's an issue until they independently discover that they missed an alert. That said, I've resorted to this approach before, and it works.
I’ve not seen discussion that Apple likely scales performance of chips to match the use profile of the specific device it’s used in. An M2 in an iPad Air is very likely not the same as an M2 in an MBP or Mac Studio.
